Sterically Encumbered Iridium Bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) Systems: Multiple C-H Activation Processes and Isomeric Normal/Abnormal Carbene Complexes
The reaction of [Ir(coe)2Cl]2 (coe = cyclooctene) with the N-heterocyclic carbene N,N′-bis(2,6diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2- ylidene (IPr) in tetrahydrofuran under anaerobic conditions leads to the formation of two main products, the planar four-coordinate Ir(I) complex Ir(IPr)(IPr″)Cl (1) formed by...
